Introduction: In Diabetes mellitus, it is observed that there will be an increase in plasma glucose levels because of the failure in inhibition of hepatic glucose production in combination with reduction in uptake by tissues especially muscles. These occur due to combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion by both liver and muscle failure to suppress plasma glucose. Methodology: Data was entered using MS Excel (2010) and statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 16. Statistical analysis was done by using percentages, mean values and standard deviation. All statistical analysis was carried out at 5% level of significance and p value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The mean haemoglobin value was 11.11±1.94 g%. The fasting blood sugar and the post prandial blood sugar mean values were 157.52 ± 47.52 mg/dl and 226.34±56.93 mg/dl respectively. The HbA1c mean value was 7.94±0.54%. The serum creatinine and blood urea levels were 0.98 ±0.26 mg/dl and 31.28±12.56 mg/dl respectively. Conclusion: Out of 90 patients, 47(52.2%) of patients were on OHA treatment and 43(47.8%) patients were on insulin.
